Spurs boss Harry Redknapp bids £26m for Athletic Bilbao striker Llorente | Mail Online

I cant see any truth in it. Although i would be fucked off if we dont get Llorente over Spurs if Torres leaves.

[Gym Beglin]

Spurs...fuck off and die, you aint getting CL next season so you can stop with all this shit now, its over.

[s(k)aturation]

I'm reading a lot of Chelsea won't make CL and Spurs won't make CL talk on our threads lately.

 

Does that mean Sunderland are finishing fourth?

We still have a chance. ;)

I just knew you'd say that. :whistle:

[ngogswilly]

was the same with suarez. The media link spurs to everyone we might be interested in. Some might say its almost like there is an agenda there. But purely not with the good honorable London press

[s(k)aturation]

He does get a lot of good, forgiving press though, old 'arry.

 

When you think about it... he's a laid-back, cooler, hipper, chirpier, albeit bung-eyed, version of Roy.

 

Who happened to played football at something approaching a decent level.

[Beantown Red]

Arry is a dickhead but I like how he thinks when it comes to the transfer window.

[18-5]

Imagine the rage of Spur's fans if we get Llorente ahead of them. :lol:

 

Not that it will happen mind since their president has said that he will not sell him now due to elections and may have secretly agreed to sell him to Real Madrid in the summer.

[Mojo]

If Torres is sold, we should gazump Arry. I like the look of Carroll, don't know much about Lorente tbh

[18-5]

Carroll is currently injured and that story is a load of bollocks.

It must be sunday.

Are you his accountant... because you're certainly not his lawyer!

What?

[chauncey]

'Twas only a joke Beantown. It's fairly well known that Harry Redknapp has paid off several mortgages through his crooked transfer dealings over the years. He has even faced charges for tax evasion.

 

I tried to imply - in jest of course - that your "I like how he thinks when it comes to the transfer window" might be a statement his accountant would approve of, but not his lawyer.

How dear you speak about Saint Arry like that and especially on the sabbath!

[Rushies tash]

If it is true, where do Spurs manage to find all this money? And how much has baggy chops spent compared to oo, say Rafa, who had it brought up by the press every 5 minutes or so.

[18-5]

They are run by a similar organisation to NESV. Plus they sold big and kept reinvesting in the squad.

[Unrighteous]

With Aquilani off our books and Pienaar on theirs, I think Spurs' wages is more --- We have higher contracts, but they have more around 70,000 and up. (I think their hard cap is 80,000 p/w)

 

Im not sure on 'net' spend. I think with Alonso and Mascherano's sales not being reinvested, they might have spent more, too.

[Rushies tash]

ENIC yes, I suppose my point is, how come there doesn't seem to be any media pressure on 'Arry given the apparent wealth of the club and the amount he's spent? What will happen if, as is likely, they miss out on CL this year?

[lifetime fan]

What player would accept wages of £80,000 a week if they have just been sold for £26m?

[Josef Svejk]

Llorente would be my first choice to replace Torres, though I doubt he'd join us with Torres leaving.

 

25 year old, World Cup-winning, Basque(-qualified) target man; strong, good in the air, solid finisher. His stats are 94 goals in 274 club games (36 in 73 over the last two seasons) and 7 goals in 13 international games. Not as exciting a player as Torres (at his best), but suited to English football and perhaps playing alongside Suarez...

Didn't I read that we'll be paying Suarez £68,000?

[Rushies tash]

Probably bumped up to £100k if he doesn't bite anyone...
